The final public appearance

I just saw an Entertainment tonight clip from January 6 1983 (which was aired January 28th) of Karen Carpenter at a grammy special 25th anniversary photo shoot-

while she isn't interviewed - they show a close up of her face. And her brother was right. She does not look well - she looks very fragile ,sickly - it is quite hard to watch - sad really. Her eyes seem dead and is wearing a lot of make-up - she does not look righ.

The clip ends as the Grammy stars in the photo start singing an old 50s song and you see Karen singing along with a lot of gusto -



she would be dead in a month -

And richard is standing next to her when they are singing the old 50s song - Burt Bacharach is above her and Gladys Knight is below her -

Can anyone identify the person standing next to Karen and talking to her during the opening of the clip? I have no idea -

This was probably the start of her "comeback" - that wasn't to be
